This game is very addictive. It's the platforming Metroid-esque that kept me going for hours. I wanted to continue exploring, backtracking and finding new abilities to progress into the next area. The art style is lovely, brings a lot of spirituality into the game. The music is eerie and matches well with the theme of the game. The bosses are a bit more on the easy side and too far between but if you love platforming and challenges more then this metroidvania is for you. I think this game could use more color, maybe areas looking a bit different, like I wouldn't mind even an additional biome full of nature. I haven't finished it completely yet but so far I am enjoying it a lot. I definitely would recommend this metroidvania and even would consider this to be the perfect starting metroidvania if you've never jumped into this genre before.
Challenging and incredibly addicting game that pays homage to the greats of the Metroidvania genre. The ease of going through the world with non-linear exploration made the time go by in a flash. Highly recommend for any fan of the genre.
这个游戏其实我的态度是中立 不喜欢也不讨厌 可惜steam不给中立选项 玩过ori 1代和2代的玩家 玩这个游戏应该有很多既视感 如果游戏难度大致分为1-5 I wanna 基本可以评价为10 ori 1 初期2 中期3 后期4 个别机关难度5 ori 2 初期2-3 中期3-4 后期4-5 因为ori 2 的能力更多 操作更多 操作也更吃准度和时机 而Before I Go 就很难蹦 这游戏在很多地方都做的比较粗糙 比如 -毫无地图指引 一片区域的收集完成度没有提示 哪怕通关后 你想全收集 唯一的方法就是把所有地图重新跑一遍 地毯式搜索 -子弹没有自动连发 想要输出最大化得使用鼠标宏 或者autohotkey -平台跳跃占比99% 而很多地方的跳跃时机卡的很紧 滞空时间比较短 没有足够的思考时间 换句话就是初见杀 而且比重极大 -游戏中后期 有距离很长的跳跳乐 中途不能失误 否则一大段重新跳 心态容易爆炸 难度曲线较高 初期3-4 中期5 后期6-7 但 最终想了想还是点了推荐 毕竟这游戏比较好的结合了平台跳跃和银河战士的玩法 而且跳跃手感比起很多独立银河城游戏来说 是相当不错的 战斗系统也有点想法 可以吸收飞弹来恢复能量 消耗能量来输出、时停 可惜的是boss不能重复挑战 没有bossrush 没有小怪遭遇战 如果喜欢平台跳跃 并且游戏荒 可以入 但如果有其他游戏可玩 那就等打折 这游戏是应该是制作组的处女作 很多地方不尽人意 但还是瑕不掩瑜 可以期待一下续作
Really great platforming!
Качественная метроидвания
L'histoire est très difficile à comprendre, j'avoue. Et l'intrigue, faut vraiment lire la page du store Steam. Toutefois, j'ai déjà joué à des jeux Metroid et je peux le dire sans broncher: Ce jeu est une alternative juste idéale! Fluide, beau, il inspire l'angoisse avec ses décors, les jeux de lumière et les OST, qui vont impeccable avec le thème du jeu. Les commandes sont bonnes et la progression est bien pensée car y a pas UNE voie prédéfinie pour explorer la carte grâce aux pouvoirs qu'on dans un ordre "adaptatif", si c'est bien le bon mot. Le jeu est un peu difficile, surtout à cause des checkpoints un peu espacés les uns les autres, mais très loin d'être insurmontable! Ca fonctionne comme un Die and Retry. Y a la présence d'un arbre de compétences qui est un peu long à remplir mais reste suffisant pour s'adapter à l'exploration. juste un conseil: Si vous pouvez pas atteindre les collectibles à cause de votre état dans le jeu quand vous tombez dessus, hésitez même pas à placer des repères couleur sur la carte pour ne pas vous perdre.
Great platforming, but don't expect deep lore or a tough fight. If you’re just looking for a fun way to satisfy a Metroidvania craving, this is it. Score: 3/5
Enjoyable Metroidvania, with well-designed platforming gauntlets and excellent music being my personal highlights. Less keen on the overabundance of enemies, though this gets more manageable as you progress. Combat was good overall and it's refreshing not to have brick wall bosses - got maybe 3 game overs in my whole playthrough. Also enjoyed the overarching narrative, although some of the dialogue was pretty ropey - maybe got lost in translation.
El juego tiene un ritmo y una progresión tan buena que explorar el mapa no se hace tedioso en ningún momento, de hecho da placer. Lo más difícil es el plataformeo, pero nunca es injusto... solo que requiere demasiada precisión, y recordar bien los patrones de cada habilidad, ya que va a ser la base en el avance. Los Bosses se podría decir que son de fáciles a moderados. Y los enemigos por lo general no representan un obstáculo mayor, salvo 2 o 3 sectores... La música es muy buena, por momentos me recordó al Hollow Knight, el ambiente sombrío también está muy bien diseñado. De la historia no entendí mucho, ya que no tiene demasiado desarrollo. Es un excelente juego para pasarse en un fin de semana... todo está muy bien, creo que es uno de los metroidvanias del año. 8/10
Sehr gutes Metroidvania mit einer Story, die definitiv jemand geschrieben hat. Genre-Fans, die das gelegentliche Skippen der ebenso überflüssigen wie zusammenhangslosen Dialoge und die eher zweckmäßige optische Präsentation nicht weiter stört, erwartet ein ansonst extrem gelungener Metroid-Klon mit auch richtig gutem, aber kriminell unter-utilisiertem Music Score.
